It is not "urban centers". It is high crime areas. :)

I think it's more urban collectivism versus rural individualism, to oversimplify it a bit. And it's been around as long as the country. It's one reason they had to invent an electoral college.
And it isn't just the U.S. - a number of other countries with representative governments show this pattern.

cities have more youth/singles, alternative (ahem) lifestyles(PC for bohemian wannabe slackers) with high school and even college educations who expect, feel entitled to walk right out of school into a CEO leather back chair. Most ruralites start working the minute their pitter pattering feet hit the ground.

,,, I'm glad you posted this - I may find out why Iowa wasn't defined as Democrat or Republican in the run up to voting. I thought of it as midwest, a lot more rural than urban and wondered why it wasn't either Party's territory. Earlier today I saw the votes for Republican easily outweighed Democrat... but I'm still not sure why it couldn't be predicted sooner.

Exactly. They can't feel safe there and think the government can keep them safe if only it enacts tons of new laws limiting their neighbors' actions.

Houston mainly voted Republican. There were a couple of Democratic pockets.
